It's obviously the case that our electoral process is a fucking sham, but this quote is taken way out of context by the tweet. Focusing on overt gestures towards the ruling class' control helps no one because, as this quote shows, the media can display your knowledge as "a paranoid fever dream." The shit that's way worse is the actual details the article gives, like how Mark Zuckerberg's charity pumped 300 million dollars into the financing the election because the government couldn't pay for it themselves. That's ~40% of the additional funding.
